The law should change take any life for a life, so if you kill somebody then you should be given a injection or bring back the hangman.

I can't be reading this right surely, 5 years? No way, I'm living in the wrong country, this isn't justice, this is just utter madness. What sort of example are we setting where a person kills another person and gets 5 years, this whole manslaughter thing is sheer craziness, if you stab someone in an offensive way you are not doing to just tickle them, you are doing it to kill them otherwise you'd use something else like a blunt object to just send a message. He killed this man plain and simple with the intention of killing him. Bring back the death penalty, straight to the gallows for him.
